Hours after her release Palestinian girl banned from Aqsa Mosque

Sunday 6-May-2018

The Israeli occupation authorities banned a Palestinian girl living in Occupied Jerusalem from holy al-Aqsa Mosque for one month.

An Israeli court ruled at nightfall Saturday that Aya Abu Nab be banned from entering al-Aqsa Mosque—the third holiest site in Islam—for a period of one month.

A few hours earlier Aya was released from the Israeli Qisheleh detention center West of Occupied Jerusalem where she had been made to endure exhaustive questioning by the Israeli intelligence.

Aya was kidnapped by Israeli cops deployed near Bab Hitta (one of al-Aqsa’s main entrance gates). She was dragged handcuffed to an Israeli detention center.

Recently five staff members of the Islamic Awqaf Department in Occupied Jerusalem including guards at al-Aqsa Mosque received similar bans for varying periods.
